Sebastian's debut single "Angels Brought Me Here" and album Just as I Am both reached number one on the ARIA charts. "Angels Brought Me Here" was the highest selling song in Australia last decade. The first week sales of 163,711 for Just as I Am were at the time the highest one-week sales ever achieved in Australia, and have since only been surpassed by Susan Boyle's debut album in 2009. With eventual sales of 480,000, just short of 7× platinum, Just as I Am is the highest selling album ever released by an Australian Idol contestant. The second single "All I Need Is You" also reached number one. Sebastian's next two albums were certified platinum. Beautiful Life showcased a stronger contemporary R&B sound and reached number two with a number-one lead single, "Out with My Baby", and two other top twenty singles. Closer to the Sun was a mix of genres, including pop rock, soul, and jazz. It peaked at number four and produced a top ten and top twenty single.

It peaked at number three and gained a double platinum certification. Like It Like That, which showed the influences of Sebastian's Memphis soul period, reached number six and platinum certification. The title track "Like It Like That" peaked at number one and was the highest selling Australian artist song of 2009. "Art of Love", featuring Jordin Sparks, peaked in the top ten. Twenty Ten was a retrospective album with songs from Sebastian's previous albums, two new songs and ten acoustic tracks. It peaked at number four and was certified double platinum. The album's only single "Who's That Girl", featuring US rapper Eve, reached number one.
